Maine BioEnergy will be deploying and testing the WaterHelix on one of the streams on the Q-Team Tree Service property.
W2 Energy has begun building the WaterHelix system for Maine BioEnergy, which will mate the WaterHelix head with the SEGS power offtake system.
Maine BioEnergy president Robert Fogg said the firm’s first project is using the WaterHelix to convert hydropower into electricity.
"Maine BioEnergy’s second project will be using the NT Plasmatron to convert our wood waste into electricity," Fogg said.
W2 Energy president and CEO Mike McLaren said this will demonstrate the viability of run-of-river hydrokinetic projects using the WaterHelix system.
